Strange, tonally odd comedy that uneasily mixes satire, grotesquery and gross-out; the unresolved tension between the competing styles means the film never sparks to life, despite some amusing ideas and a pair of terrific performances from Gyllenhaal and (especially) Kurtz, who seem to be the only people on either side of the camera who know what they're doing, and go for it with both guns blazing. Aggressive and mean spirited deployment of racial stereotypes drag the film down from a pass.

Painfully unfunny and the whole conceit they play with regarding the driving romance is incredibly stupid. Because talking to a girl a few times and crashing her wedding is definitely the basis of a strong relationship. What gets me is that the movie doesn't really try to do much with its marketed premise; instead, it's more of a hodgepog of stupid stereotypes that are abrasive enough to be offensive but not over the top enough to be funny, which is a wicked combo for bad comedy.

It’s remarkably bad and for something this weird, you’d think the badness might have enough heart to make it at least entertaining, but somehow it fails at that, too. There’s really nothing to recommend it except the audacity of having made such a bizarre film in the first place that still fails to feel interesting or original.

There isn't much to watch, except for Zach Galifianakis's fantastic desert scene. I love Jake Gyllenhaal and it was a good experience to see his early career, it's waste of time though.

Jake Gyllenhaal'ın ilk gençlik filmi. Bağışıklık sistemi kötü olduğu için balonun içinde yaşayan Jimmy, sevdiği kız Chloe'yi kötü biriyle evlenmemek için yollara düşer. Ara öyküler, güldürmek için kullanılsalar da, filmi daha da aşağıya çekiyor. Ara rollerde, sürpriz isimlerin olması şaşırtıcı. Gerçekten böyle bir proje için epey emek sarf edilmiş. İçi boş 1 balon. Filmin sonunda, nikahı durdurup balonu patlatıyor. Patlak balon.

The movie's so damn stupid, yet at the same time there are still some good laughs to be had. I really ought to watch it again as I'm sure actually sitting down and focusing on the film will net a different reaction from glancing over to catch brief snippets as it airs on Comedy Central on a Saturday afternoon.

Gake Jylenhallls thrills and delights in the boy in the bubble. He plays a germaphobe who won't leave his little plastic world, even for the promise of a kiss from a moderately attractive female in a leading role. This movie will leave you pleading for more!!!!!!
